Piezoelectric surgery is a relatively new technique that enables safe and effective osteotomies using piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations. Devices with new features are continually being developed and introduced to the market. Piezoelectric surgical instruments have superior qualities compared to conventional rotary surgical tools.

Due to their ability to perform micrometric and selective cutting, piezoelectric surgical devices provide safe and precise osteotomies without causing necrotic damage to the bone. Their most significant advantage over traditional rotary tools is their ability to work exclusively on mineralized tissues, preserving soft tissue and blood supply.

When in contact with soft tissues such as nerves and mucosa around the operation site, piezoelectric devices do not cause harm. This characteristic makes them ideal for various medical fields, including orthopedics and neurosurgery, as well as oral, dental, and maxillofacial surgery. This study discusses the features, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of piezoelectric surgical devices, which are frequently preferred in these fields.
